THE FOLLOWING NARRATIVE IS THE FOOTNOTE FROM THE CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: THE SYSTEM AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES HAVE GENERALLY BEEN RECOGNIZED AS EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND A SIMILAR PROVISION OF STATE LAW. HOWEVER, THESE ENTITIES ARE SUBJECT TO FEDERAL INCOME TAX ON ANY UNRELATED BUSINESS TAXABLE INCOME. THE SYSTEM CONSOLIDATES CERTAIN ENTITIES, WHICH ARE ORGANIZED AS CORPORATIONS AND SUBJECT TO FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES ON RELATED INCOME. OTHER CONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES HAVE ELECTED TO BE TAXED AS A PARTNERSHIP UNDER PROVISIONS OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND A SIMILAR SECTION OF THE STATE INCOME TAX LAW. THEREFORE, TAXABLE INCOME OR LOSS IS REPORTED TO THE INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS FOR INCLUSION IN THEIR RESPECTIVE TAX RETURNS. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE OPERATIONS OF THE PARTNERSHIP ENTITIES ARE RELATED TO THE SYSTEM'S TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSE, ITS INCOME WILL BE EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAXES. THE SYSTEM AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES ACCOUNT FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS USING A TWO-STEP APPROACH FOR RECOGNIZING AND MEASURING TAX BENEFITS TAKEN, OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN, IN AN UNRELATED BUSINESS ACTIVITY TAX RETURN, AND DISCLOSURES REGARDING UNCERTAINTIES IN TAX POSITIONS. THE SYSTEM'S FOR-PROFIT CORPORATIONS RECOGNIZE DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES FOR THE FUTURE TAX IMPACT OF TEMPORARY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AMOUNTS RECORDED IN THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE TAX BASES, AND THE FUTURE BENEFIT OF UTILIZING AVAILABLE NET OPERATING LOSSES. DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ARE MEASURED USING ENACTED TAX RATES EXPECTED TO APPLY TO TAXABLE INCOME IN THE YEARS IN WHICH THOSE TEMPORARY DIFFERENCES ARE EXPECTED TO BE RECOVERED OR SETTLED. INCOME TAXES OF THE SYSTEM'S TAX-EXEMPT, FOR-PROFIT AND PARTNERSHIP ENTITIES ARE RECORDED IN ACCRUED EXPENSES ON THE CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS. true true X true X true X 1542180 1542180 0.01388 18136116 8154010 9982106 0.08983 0 0.0 0 0 19678296 8154010 11524286 0.10371 16271 16271 0.00015 0 0.0 3596630 2444578 1152052 0.01037 0 0.0 0 0.0 0 0 3612901 2444578 1168323 0.01051 0 0 23291197 10598588 12692609 0.11422 0 0.0 0 0.0 0 0.0 0 0.0 0 0.0 0 0.0 0 0.0 0 0.0 0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 0.0 true 4813471 691008 15509256 14602172 907084 X true true 1 1 JC BLAIR MEMORIAL HOSPITAL 1225 WARM SPRINGS AVENUE HUNTINGDON PA 16652 WWW.PHHEALTHCARE.ORG 101101 X X X INPATIENT PSYCHIATRY JC BLAIR MEMORIAL HOSPITAL 1 false false true X X X X X X X X X 23 true true true true X WWW.PHHEALTHCARE.ORG/HEALTH-WELLNESS/COMMUNITY-HEALTH-NEEDS-ASSESSMENT true 24 true WWW.PHHEALTHCARE.ORG/HEALTH-WELLNESS/COMMUNITY-HEALTH-NEEDS-ASSESSMENT false true X 200.0 300.0 X X X X true true X X X true X HTTPS://WWW.PHHEALTHCARE.ORG/PATIENTS-VISITORS/FINANCIAL-ASSISTANCE-POLICY X HTTPS://WWW.PHHEALTHCARE.ORG/PATIENTS-VISITORS/FINANCIAL-ASSISTANCE-POLICY X HTTPS://WWW.PHHEALTHCARE.ORG/PATIENTS-VISITORS/FINANCIAL-ASSISTANCE-POLICY X X X X X X true X false X X X X X true X false false Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - JC BLAIR MEMORIAL HOSPITAL.
